Just a couple weeks out from its early access release on October 7, League of Legends fighting game 2XKO's director is giving players a fair warning that the spin-off might not be perfect—not because it's rife with issues, but because Riot wants to try out new ideas with its first foray into the genre. So, while things might get off to a rocky start, issues will get smoothed out as those ideas are refined.

As reported by GamesRadar, in an interview with Edge Magazine, 2XKO director Shaun Rivera commented on Riot's hopes (and fears) for the game, stating, "We're the type of team where we want to try stuff. Sometimes it's going to land and sometimes it's going to whiff, but we will be trying things. I want to set those expectations for players that something we try might go wrong or it might not be good, but we'll address it."
